I've just stumbled across an absolutely brilliant Facebook page, entitled Videos of Irish Farming Life, available at https://www.facebook.com/Irishfarmingvideos. It carries videos demonstrating traditional farming techniques in Ireland, as recorded by John Thompson in Garvagh, which can also be purchased on DVD from www.thompsontrading.co.uk/farming.
I've learned more about flax scutching (part of the linen manufacturing process) in five minutes from this site than I have from years of reading about it! Well worth subscribing to.
